bike troubles

after a long and tiresome attempt at a bike repair, my efforts were in vain,

heres what happened(i feel like Monk....hehehe)

okay, so i decide to patchup my tires, as i punctured the a LONG time ago, and never got around to doing that.. i get the first hole in the front tube al nice and patched, get it put back on. now to the rear tire. i get it off, cassette and all, and patch up that tube. once it is back on, i realize that the front tire still doesn't want to hole any air. so i take it off again and repatched the first hole, because it looked iffy. i put it back on and pump it up, to find that is still doesn't hold air. so i take it off for the third time. and find another huge gaping hole, that wasn't there before. so i patch it up, and ride it. it seemed fine, until i come back later to see that both of my tires are flat.
so i decide to just give up, go to Jax, and get some new tubes.

but in other news, i really did survive the Swine Flu......

first time back

so i just finished my second season with Impulse drum and Bugle corps.
i was alot of fun. i was the Horn Sergeant this season (much to my surprise) and i even made som new friends (*gasp!*) but i think, that even though we were smaller this year, we were better.
i wish i could have seen us going to finals. we would have kicked some serious butt. but that has passed, and out nor cal tour went well. i think that overall it was a fantastic season. and i really like sean.
i just wish i could come back next season. and i'm going to miss the banquet! NO!!!!.
stupid SPOP 8. i wish i wasn't so busy this summer. although because of the shortened season, i get two months of before school starts up. just enough time to freak out.
so i decided i am going to buy a 15 inch Mac book (i've been saving for a long time) and an 16 gig ipod touch.
but i also really want to buy a new bike. since i found a site that will show me local single track, i want a decent dual suspension bike. now my trek 4300 hardtail is a fantastic bike, i just want a dual suspension to go along. but the Feul ex 5.5( the on i am looking at) is 1400 dollars!(but i have a 100 dollar gift card, so 1300)

well that is the update on me.

Best regards, John C

goodnight, and good luck.
"LONG-WHILE I sought to what I might compare
those powrefull eies, which lighten my dark spright,
yet find I nought on earth to which I dare
resemble th' ymage of their goodly light.
Not to the Sun: for they doo shine by night;
nor to the Moone: for they are changed neuer;
nor to the Starres: for they haue purer sight;
nor to the fire: for they consume not euer;
Nor to the lightning: for they still perseuer;
nor to the Diamond: for they are more tender;
nor vnto Christall: for nought may them seuer;
nor vnto glasse: such basenesse mought offend her;
Then to the Maker selfe they likest be,
whose light doth lighten all that here we see."

The Mars Volta

i have been on a huge Mars Volta Kick.
seriously
i need to see them soon, especially with Thomas Pridgen.

stress?

i am seriously stressing now

butttt... i do have something to look forward to. i finally mustered the courage to ask a girl i like to prom. even though i new that she wanted to go with me. so yay me! let me tell you, even though i pretty much knew she was going to say yes, i was SOOOOOOO nervous and when i was going to do it, my mind blanked and i felt like i was gonna colapse. and she said yes. and i probably said some stupid things afterwards, i think i said thanks, and she was, well anywho. i'm glad i did it.


yay me.

soo much to say

but i am just so f-ing tired.
i need a break
i'm screwed.

i don't know what to say...

here
so
i'll sing.

She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child wont feel as alone as she does

Shes been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...

She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone...ooh...whoa...ah yeah...
